| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 12:20 AM PST My parents do not want me to do exercises like pushups. FYI I am 13 years old. They say that it is not good at your age. Can you guys help me prove them wrong? (So, like coming up with "statements/arguments" (I guess you could say that)) They also say that this intense workout is not good for my age, so I just say that running is intensive as well since they want me to do things like running instead. EDIT: I took time to read everyone's answer and I found very interesting and helpful advice/(words? I guess u could say that). So, Thank you everyone for your support!! I really appreciate it! And guys don't be bothered to buy and give me awards. Instead, you can donate to Arnold Schwarzenegger's after school programme thingy. [link] [comments] |
| Why are pullups easier on a higher bar? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 10:43 AM PST I've been training pullups/chinups a lot recently, and I've noticed that I can consistently do more on a bar that's high enough to free hang (new max of 14 yesterday), whereas on my bar at home, where I have to tuck my legs, I can barely get 10. My bar is mounted to studs, so it's not a matter of a less stable bar, and it's about the same diameter and width as the bar where I maxed out. Any ideas on why this is? [link] [comments] |
| Sharing my failure story. Can anyone here relate? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 10:33 AM PST For those in a hurry: TL;DR: I used to be athletic 15 years ago. According to my BMI I am now officially obese and I'm not quite sure how to revert the damage I've done to my body without injuring myself. Any advice? Now, if you got some time, I would like to share my personal failure story and ask if anyone here has gone through the same experience any point in life. When I was a kid, I used to be on the chubbier side of the fitness spectrum, but around the age of 15 I started swimming, running and going to the gym. I got pretty fit and was reasonably healthy up until my mid twenties. Then, from when I turned 27 until now, when I'm about to turn 35, I've only been getting fatter and fatter. I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I push myself to relatively low efforts. My sex drive is gone, as well as my self-esteem. I have a huge dad belly and weak biceps and forearms. My joints are getting slightly sore due to my extra weight. 3 months ago I tried running, following a beginner "from couch to 5k" program I found online, but ended up hurting my knee, so I gave myself a break which actually turned to another episode of me giving up on myself again. Oh gosh, this sounds too dramatic, I know. LOL. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here has had the same kind of experience and, especially, how they managed to get out of their rut. Thank you guys and gals for any advice you can give! [link] [comments] |
| Just Completed my first day of the RR! Posted: 04 Mar 2021 05:07 AM PST Man, that gave me a good pump! For some info, I'm 25m, 90kg, 6'1" and around 20% BF, currently trying to recomp to around 87kg with 13-15% BF. I've been doing a lot of HIIT and basic bodyweight exercise like planking, push-ups, squats, burpees etc but haven't been doing many Pull workouts as I'm lacking the equipment. Decided today fuck it, did Neg Pull-ups on the gazebo beam outside and did rows with a towel thrown over the same beam. I subbed in Pike-Pushups for the hinge as I wanted to work my shoulders more. I had a great time, cheers to everyone who's put it together it a great workout! Recommend to anyone who hasn't given it a go yet to give it a try! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2021 12:56 PM PST It's a high rep floor workout designed to be done 5x per week- link here I did it last night and today my glutes are burning so good. I'm a beginner to this sort of training and I barely finished the workout. The whole thing takes about 20 minutes total to complete so it will be easy to fit in to my day. And it's the sort of stuff I can do on the floor in my living room when I'm usually on the couch watching TV Here's the workout (I'm going to link the YouTube videos that demonstrate all of these moves) 1A. side lying clam – 30 reps 1B. side lying hip abduction – 30 reps 2-3 min rest 2A. single leg glute bridge – 30 reps 2B. quadrupled hip extension from elbows – 30 reps 2-3 min rest
2-3 min rest 4A. quadrupled leg swing – 25 reps 4B. fire hydrant – 25 reps "Note that the "A" and "B" denote supersets. Say you're supersetting single leg glute bridges with quadruped hip extensions. You'd perform 30 reps of single leg glute bridges with the right leg, then 30 reps of quadruped hip extensions with the right leg without resting, then repeat with the left leg. Around 2-3 minutes of rest is taken between each set or superset." *credit to Bret Contreras! (Highly recommend looking him up if you want to learn more about glutes. Or check out his YouTube channel Bret Contreras Glute Guy) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 12:35 PM PST I have been practicing handstands for about 4 months already, and the pain occured when I started practicing it. The pain mostly occures on my right trap, and feels like the muscle fibers are wrinkling inside... and a few seconds after, I feel that I have a hemorrhage. Can someone explain me what the hell am I doing wrong? [link] [comments] |
| I physically cannot do a full rom pull up Posted: 04 Mar 2021 12:01 AM PST I cannot do a pull up where at the bottom of the movement, my arms are right next to my ears and fully extended. They're usually slightly infront and elbows slightly bent but not obvious. I just find it difficult to reach full extension because I have to push myself into full extension and it starts to hurt my shoulder and when I pull up from full extension and my biceps feel like they're cramping up Any tips or explanation to this?

| Best bodyweight workout to target chest development; particular emphasis on upper chest. Posted: 04 Mar 2021 06:26 AM PST Gents, I'm looking to design an at home workout to target my chest; with particular emphasis on the upper chest as it lagging over my lower. I have access to rings; push-up bars and a 10Kg weighted vest. My current proposed workout is as follows (4 exercises, 5 sets of 10reps for total of 200reps): 1.) Weighted decline pushups using pushups handles with 10Kg weighted vest(or possible same exercise but using rings?) to help target upper chest more; doing this as the first exercise as it places the most emphasis on the upper chest and want to put the most energy into it. 2.) Ring flyes(May have to adapt this as I may not have the tendon strength to do it with straight elbows yet; was going to try place my hands through the straps as was recommended on calisthenics youtube video also start on an incline and work down to the ground) https://youtu.be/Gjot7oruO9c (Last week's attempt) 3.) Weighted bulgarian ring pushups to add more of a horizontal adduction component and help target the chest more. Calimove recommends ring push-ups as a one of the best exerices for chest(https://youtu.be/m4xE_jfSDyQ?list=PLjLlxX-iKW8-ixSGe1AbMe1_YvKuoypRh) So I figured the bulgarian version would be even more effective? https://youtu.be/_tVxYoFQz8M (Last week's attempt) 4.) Weighted chest dip with lean https://youtu.be/m4xE_jfSDyQ?list=PLjLlxX-iKW8-ixSGe1AbMe1_YvKuoypRh&t=757 Open to any feedback or tips for improvement :) Perhaps switching the decline pushups to rings would be a good idea? Switching the ring flyes to decline ring flyes? Reducing the number of exercises? Switching up the order of the exercises? Pelican push-ups? (https://youtu.be/TRZhw7t7Qgo?t=200) [link] [comments] |
| I am recovered an half an hour after not exercising a move. Is this normal? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 12:15 PM PST Say I exercise my front lever. 6 sets of 80% of max hold time at current progression (isometrics). The last set is naturally not as long as the first set. But I am wondering if it is normal that after half an hour (approximately) I am able to perform the front lever progression like I just didn't work out? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Any Recommendations for a starter Posted: 04 Mar 2021 12:10 PM PST Hello everyone , - I'm new to bodyweight training etc ... Gyms are closed so i can only train at home - the only equipments i have are Pull Up / Dip bar - Resistance Bands and adjustable dumbells of 20kgs , the type of workout that looks great for me its either Full body workout 3 days a week or upper body and lower body on different days for 4 days a week .

| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 11:51 AM PST Hello Is anyone on this page into pre workouts? What are the favourites? Looking for more to try [link] [comments] |
| I'm looking for a 4-day BWF program, because I've plateaud the past 4 months with the RR... Posted: 04 Mar 2021 11:06 AM PST Hello, I've been doing the RR for almost a year now, and these are my stats atm: I'm 80kg @ 180cm
I have been stuck with these numbers for more than 4 months now, even though I sleep, eat and train consistently 3 times a week. I haven't done the skill work that's recommended, because just the main movements take me already 1,5 hours, occasionally I will try to hold the tucked front lever for 10 secs. I have revisited my form multiple times for all the excercises I do, with multiple YouTube videos and guides, this at most gives me a rep extra but not something spectacular. I have been eating 2700 kcal~ a day consistenly, have developed a some belly fat lol. I eat enough protein per day, easily 80g+ per day Yes, I have tried drop sets and the use of resistance bands after I'm unable to perform normal pullups/dips, but this doesn't increase my ability to do more pullups on a regular other day.. I am absolutely lost, normally you progress each week or every few weeks, is it possible I'm due for another routine? I have googled a lot but I haven't really found a quality 4-day BWF program. I have at home:
Does someone please have a quality 4-day BWF routine I can try out. Thanks!!! [link] [comments] |
| How to progress to RTO Position? (Gymnastic Rings) Posted: 04 Mar 2021 10:55 AM PST Got my rings about a month ago, loving them a lot. Currently I'm doing support holds with rings parallel to me and towards my sides. I can do 30 second support holds consistently in all 3 sets; 45 seconds with difficulty all while being stable and balanced on the rings. I've been trying for about 3ish weeks now to progress to the RTO position; however that is proving to be a difficult task. I'm very unstable and it feels very challenging to achieve it. Advice will be appreciated, thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 10:50 AM PST Hi guys. I would like to create routine to train for couple of weeks or months to achieve 1 arm pushup and 1 arm pullup or get closer to it. I'm wondering how to program that kind of routine? In that time o would like to focus only on excersises that will help to achieve that goals. Any ideas? [link] [comments] |
| is exercising little and often just as good as doing a full workout in one go Posted: 04 Mar 2021 06:28 AM PST for example, is doing 5 pressups every half an hour just as good as doing them all in one go? my guess is probably not, but im not sure, thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 04:08 AM PST Hey everyone! This week I started to workout again for the first time in a while and I'm just wondering if what I'm experiencing is normal. I've been very in shape nearly my whole life, but the last few years I've had a seemingly never ending stream of weird undiagnosed medical issues that have stopped me from working out (and the last year and a half was particularly bad and I couldn't even walk for a couple months) I FINALLY got the green light to workout and I'm itching to lose this weight and get back in shape, but my god!! I'm dying!! I'm using Freeletics after a lot of research and I really love it, I'm sticking to what I know (body weight exercises) and starting off real slow and listening to my body. I had my second workout today and I'm just panting and grunting a lot! Today's workout: Warmup - 30x high knees, 8x climbers, 30s downward facing dog, 8x wall squats, 8x speed skaters, 12x reverse lunges, 10x squats Main Workout - 30x high knees, 10x pushups, 20s rest, 20x jumping squats, 10x burpees The main workout has 4 sets, I made it through 2 of them and then the active cooldown. Is this type of struggle normal? I'm wondering because it's tough to know if it's just that I'm out of shape or if I'm not as ready as I thought. It FEELS like just being out of shape [link] [comments] |
| How fit can you get with bodyweight training? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 06:18 AM PST I mean, can you get jacked like in the gym? Do have some examples / fitness celebs that do only this kind of training? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 09:25 AM PST What are your thoughts? These guys at least say that they can lead to injury. I can't help but notice, though, that he does not actually demonstrate a correct pistol squat, and that his feet do not stay flat on the floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ9Y9cF_iqY [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations for workout apps? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 08:56 AM PST Willing to pay a full version of a workout app that routinely gives different home workout or equipment workout. Couldnt find something similar from the popular apps that ive been using like "Home Workout". Chest Advance has been pretty easy for me including the one with equipments. :/ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2021 10:22 PM PST Feel like my upper body endurance is so much weaker that my lower body. I can go a straight hour going hard with leg bodyweight exercises with sets of air squats, jumping lunges, rocket jumps, leg raises and just able to go hard without any break. But upper body is a different story. I start off with 30 arm circles both ways to get warmed up and then I do 10 tricep/chest pushups, after that my arms aren't really feeling a burn they just feel really tired. I keep pushing with bicept pushups and tricept body lifting on a bench. I have to do core workouts for a bit afterwards though because I just can't do anything with my arms. I try to get my arms and shoulders pumping up again after that with rotating punches, punches above the head, uppercuts. But after that I just fail everything in the second set. Get typically anywhere between 5-7 pushups and I can't get up anymore and when I try to just do the tricept lifts after that I just fail after a couple reps. Any tips on improving my arms endurance? (Btw I have no equipment) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 08:01 AM PST I can't handstand yet but I can comfortably hold a bent arm handstand and shoulder stand. Will doing pushups with ROM between bent arm and shoulder stand be more beneficial than a wall assisted full ROM HSPU? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 07:57 AM PST I am being stopped from working out by my parents saying that pull ups make me taller cuz I'm already naturally a tall guy, and will make me 'taller than normal' height? Can someone provide a detailed criticism please?! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 04:01 AM PST It is known that you should do about 8-12 reps for musle growth. But is the intension to do this until failure? So lets say I do a set of 9 reps, should i be able physically to do a rep after that? Or should it just be hard to do another rep? And how long should I rest after a set? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2021 07:43 AM PST Hey I recently got my first muscle ups and I can hit ir consistently now but I have some problems. I can only do 1rep and its hard For me not to start kipping after a couple when im stating to get tired. Should I Just keep doing 1 reps till im able to do more?? Or should I focus on negatives or things like that?? Also any tip on how not to kipp or minimum kipping would be appreciated [link] [comments] |
